Bug Description

ubuntu-advantage-tools recently used an APT Cli hook (AptCli::Hooks::Upgrade) to add a message to the output. We were asked in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/1992026/comments/9 to honor the -q (-qq, -qqq) option of APT upgrade, and hide the output.

However, the hook does not expose this option, so there is nothing we can do from our side.

APT could either treat those messages based on the "quietness" defined when running the command, or expose the flag somehow so we could configure our message to respect it.
